'Masters Of Sex' Renewed for Season 3 - New Showtime Episodes Along w/ 'Ray Donovan'

In a not-so surprising move from Showtime, 2 new season orders for both Masters of Sex and Ray Donovan have been ordered. These tow successful shows will each get season 3 episodes next year thanks mostly to the Emmy nominations each show has this year.

"Both Ray Donovan and Masters of Sex are quintessentially Showtime: bold, provocative, premium television with production values at the top of the food chain," President of Showtime, David Nevins, said in a statement this week. "These acclaimed shows are filled with complex and interesting characters and settings that will no doubt give audiences compelling television to invest in for seasons to come."

Here is an excerpt from the official press release from Showtime:

MASTERS OF SEX scored five Emmy^® Award nominations this year, including nods for actors Lizzy Caplan, Beau Bridges and Allison Janney, who was honored this past weekend with an Emmy for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series for her role as Margaret Scully. RAY DONOVAN's Jon Voight is also an Emmy contender, receiving his first ever series nomination for his role as Mickey Donovan. Both series continue to resonate with the network's subscribers, delivering season high numbers for their past few episodes.
